217299 divided by 56 
We're looking to find how many times 56 goes into 217299.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 56, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 56

Step 2:
21 divided by 56 is 0 with a remainder of 21.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 21 after subtracting 0 from 21.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 21, then repeat: 217 / 56

On to step 3:
When dividing 217 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 49.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 49 after subtracting 168 from 217.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 49 and repeat the process: 492 / 56

On to step 4:
56 goes into 492 8 times with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 44 after subtracting 448 from 492.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 449 / 56

Moving on to step 5:
The number 56 fits into 449 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 388.0
Deduct 448 from 449 and we're left with 1.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 19 / 56

On to step 6:
The number 56 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3880.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 0 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
190 divided by 56 is 3 with a remainder of 22.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3880.3
Subtracting 168 from 190 leaves us with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 220 by 56, we get 3 with a remainder of 52.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3880.33
Deduct 168 from 220 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3880.33 with a remaining 0.052.
